in some places in florida, the ballots were 12 pages long. another big factor was the decision by some states to cut back the number of early voting days. some state legislatures rammed through voter id laws requiring people to show photo ids, fill out affidavits and other forms. plenty of people had no trouble and there's no indication that any of this tilted the outcome of the election. there's little doubt it's messy, unwieldy different in every state. >> how do you fix this? >> it would be difficult to fix it by having one system. the states have primary authority for conducting elections and some of that pass that authority down to the counties and give them leeway in implementation. and it would be extremely challenging because each state has its own traditions, its own culture. >> there is no one big fix to any of this. after the 2000 florida recount, the federal governmental located some money to try and improve things and created an agency called the election assistance commission. the problem with that body is that it doesn't work v
